Quite fun. I was thinking it would be awesome to have whatever Webb is currently looking at as my desktop background or a website background or something. Glancing through the FF inspector it doesn't look like there is a single image which represents that, though. It looks like a piece of JS called Aladin is stitching together a bunch of 512x512 images. Anybody know more about this?
Not sure about JWST, but for Earth-observing satellite data it's common to store data in formats that support tiling and ranged reads so that clients are only loading the parts of the dataset relevant to current view.
My guess is something similar is happening here on the other side of that library.
